Cubic! is a simple game that takes your finger and turns it into a commander by letting you to direct your cubes' movement, and control an army of cubes.
But be careful, as you can only move 1 unit at a time, and your units move in the direction they were last instructed.

I'm have a hard time figuring out what direction a merged tile will move at though. Is it determined by the highest number or something else? The same goes for the new position of a merged tile when merging to tiles that is adjacent to each other.

I also wonder about the enemy movement. Is it predictable or random? I know you can see their next move by not lifting your finger when swiping but I would like to predict the movement several moves ahead.

Enemies move toward the center, and yes they have a predictable pattern. When you say "predict several moves ahead of time", that means you're already playing at a high level and the grey squares should help with that
--Although note that the grey squares are being removed in the next update.

As for the merged-unit movement, yes it's based on whichever unit had the higher value.

I'm glad you're enjoying the game though! There's an update I submitted a few hours ago which includes:

Portrait mode to make those phone play sessions better
An improved tutorial to help explain things better
A secret unit type (because it's awesome)
And more...

If you have any other questions or comments about the game, do let me know. I'm very open to feedback-Alex

This is a very fun game. I started off being super awful at it, but it's so addictive I kept trying and trying, and now I am pleased to say I suck somewhat less than I did when I started, lol! The graphics are crisp and attractive, and movement is smooth--these are qualities that are hugely important to me, so I'm always glad whenever I find another game that fits the bill. I just can't get enough of elegant little puzzlers, and Cubic! is now added to my list of games that feed my puzzle jones.

Thanks for the answers about merging. This game actually grows on you. Hopefully more people will pick it up. There is only four of us on the leaderboards.

It looks like the leaderboard for turns is broken. There are no results there.

I think I read somewhere that the goal was to reach 100 turns but nothing happens when you do that. Any plans for GC achievements?

Great game and great idea! Is this your own idea or did you find it somewhere else?

The Turns leaderboard was created with the upcoming update, so unfortunately no scores will be submitted to that board until then :/

And if you've gotten to 100 turns, the update will show you the secret unit
As for achievements, I haven't really thought of it as the game doesn't really lend itself to that playstyle. Although as time goes on, maybe there could be different achievements regarding different game modes, color themes, etc.

Game has been fun so far. Just spent an hour playing it and didn't even realize it. Still trying to figure out the pattern of the movements but I enjoy it none-the-less.

I enjoy the graphics and simplicity of its appearance. Highly recommend to anyone!

Hey man, I'm glad you like it.

Recommend it to your friends via the Share button built in to the game. (Unless you're using an iPad. Version 1.0 crashes. I've fixed that in Version 2.0, which is currently waiting for review. But ya.... lol)

KeitGames, for color blind mode I've seen games that use pattern for differentiation. For example, the player's cubes are solid and the opponent cubes are striped or marked with "x" or something. I think that would work well. I'm not colorblind myself, but I've read so many reviews that mention it that it's made an impression on me.

I love the idea of color themes, btw!

OOOOOoooo I like that idea... I'll have to talk with some design people I know because as a coder I only know a sliver about design, but not enough to really make it beautiful haha

I'll probably have a "themes" option, where you can cycle through different themes and it'll show you what the units would look like
